Continuing .... I suggest when you get the arduino window working you go to your Arduino directory and drag the arduino icon on to your desktop. It will then start up without the terminal behind it.. Much neater

I don't know how to make a pet but I'll go have a read and if I can understand how I'll make a pet for this.

EDIT err looks like too much messing about for me atm-dont have the time . Perhaps someone might have a go at it ?

Arduino is a little $5 chip that can be programmed to do amazing things by people who are just ordinary when it comes to electronics or C++ programming. Full startup kits cost $50 or so and with a breadboard you wire up various sensors and devices to it and the info you wish is sent to your computer screen via a USB lead. Many many programs are already written fo you and you download them for free and just plug em in and away you go.

Now I have delved a little further and found this page for Compiling in Puppy
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Compiling

I'm downloading the sfs file from http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/puppy-5.2.8/lupu_devx_528-3.sfs atm and suspect some of the Arduino linux list above may not be needed
More on this as I experiment

libmpc.so.2 libelf.so.0
these can be downloaded from slacko repository

As far as

Quote:

To deal with gcc-avr, add it to your PATH variable..

I played around a bit with various path solutions to no avail

I think it is a library not found for sure but why puzzles me . Each program has downloaded and installed supposedly correctly. I cant copy the error section bel;ow the sketch window but Ill try a screenshot.

I still have it running flawlessly on a 5.28 USB. I just want to get it up on 5.3

I did the same as my previous post for 5.28 except with latest
binutils-avr_2.21
gcc-avr_4.5.3
avr-libc_1.6.7
jre-1.7.0-20110811 which is extra SFS installed by sfs-load
arduino-0022
libmpfr1ldbl_2.3.1.dfsg.1
libgmp3c2_4.3.2+dfsg
libmpc-0.8.2

and the two files mentioned above .
libmpc.so.2 libelf.so.0 but I think these are not needed when I find the fault

aarf seems to get himself in an almighty mess and that's what all the deleted posts are in this thread. What he has on his thread now seems to be taken from mine. He says things like "if its avr download it " and he does that and downloads "dude" I noticed too but "dude" comes down with Arduino 0022 so that's not necessary- he's very confused and writing how-to's ?

Now I'm going to start again and wipe this particular USB stick because I think it has errors. I'll post back when I set up the new stuff

Don't understand what you mean by "for lack of a device to mess with" ?
Don't have arduino or dont have linux box?
